Our dear Aunt Betty was a shinning example of what an “Aunt” should be…loving, caring and always there for you. She made me feel so much a part of her family and I will miss her today, tomorrow and always.

Dear Jane, Nancy and Mary Ann, Your mom was like my second mom at Grace and your home. She called me her fourth daughter. She’s now part of the couples club in heaven! May God bless you and your families with comfort and peace. Love, Deb Scheffey

The world has lost a sweet little lady, who had the heart of a giant. We will be with you only in prayer and thought. Other plans keep us away. Please know that we know that she loved you all and that you did so much to make her life so much easier. Love you, Bob and Judie

We were indeed sorry to see your mother’s obituary in the paper yesterday. She was a wonderful lady. I almost missed the obit. since I didn’t know that her first name was Mary. I also miss your father since he was my best friend at RCA. In fact he is the one that saved my career at RCA.

Jane and Nancy and Mary Ann, sorry I missed your mothers service I would have loved to have been there but didn’t found out till Sunday night when I talked to Sandi Miller. So sorry for your lost LOVE JUDY BUCKWALTER

Tonight Fredia Morris shared with me the news of your mother’s death. This morning a friend and I were at Christmas Tree Hill and I was wondering about Nancy and Mary Ann too. My condolences to you and your families. God be with each one of you.
